I love Ally's Tartan Army. And the less heralded sequel, We Have a Dream, where John Gordon Sinclair dreams of being asked to score a winning world cup goal for Scotland, only: "And then I hear my old lady screaming blue murder Crying 'its no the ball yet kicking ya eejit it's me!" Can't beat a good (crap) football song.

Similar to Bernie about three/four months before she went. Just saying.

Terry Wogan said he'd walk from Children in Need if they let Savile on board. Terry was a proper legend. Mum never let us watch Savile. Always thought he was dodgy. Not to the extent he actually was though. We all watched Rolf instead...

I prefer other George Michael songs, but his tribute to his AIDS dead boyfriend is still better than most of its fellow number ones from the time period.

1996-97 Return of the Mack Lou Reed Maybe Spaceman, Jesus to a Child, Breakfast at Tiffanys, No Doubt if lost for things to up vote. Not a great wilderness approaches. It does actually improve in 1998/99 despite all the Westlife clones that need put down.

Black Bart managed to survive his heart issues and his post concussion syndrome, but the jury's out on if he'll last much longer with adding metastatic Stage IV colon and liver cancer to his ailments.

Not with some ad blocks and not on some browsers for the record.

tbh Crem posts so many obits now I worry I'm going to wake up one morning and find out he's posted my obit and I've just gone all Sixth Sense and not noticed yet.

I mean, I may give Back for Good some point if Pato Banton goes out. (That's not advice, LadyFiona!)

Well, she was listed twice!

Despite my earlier stated view: That song is actually not bad. Especially compared to other number ones from this time period.

She was also the author Anna Milford, a friend of Magnus Magnusson. She competed on Mastermind in 1976 but was ill so couldn't make the Semis, so this was her comeback attempt. Oh dear.

Possibly, but given its pretty much an open secret her issues stem from being groomed as a child, one does hope she'll get a happier/better lot in life eventually.

Time is right, grammatically, but misses that I was taking the deliberate piss! (Reptile at least got the joke, as I suspected he would.)

Surely an oxymoron?

We told him to watch out for the Shaq Attack!

Watching that new Sergio Leone doc. imo Clint looks and sounds rough as fuck, and should be a DL consideration for next year (should he make it).
